Abstract
Endovascular grafting for abdominal aortic aneurysm has evolved over the past 7 years from Parodi's simple tubular aortic endografts with uniform attachment systems to more complex 'modular' designs that begin to provide some flexibility of graft construction at the time of implantation. The future of these systems likely resides in a series of devices that contain sufficient flexibility to permit the operator the option for in situ customization of graft dimensions in accordance with realtime operative/fluoroscopic findings.
